Pork Crackling is something we always have in our grocery cupboard for snacking along with biltong. It’s full or gorgeous healthy saturated fat … exactly what you want on LCHF! You can use any spices or flavourings you want … we are partial to Paprika and Chinese 5 Spice … we normally do half and half and just mix it all up. You could just do salt on it’s own if you don’t like flavourings, or you could add Cayenne Pepper for some heat … the world is your oyster! Experiment.
